The following code when run in the Chrome Browser on Linux OS. does not implement the row direction until the width reaches 1200px (whereas the set break point is 600px)
@media screen and (min-width: 600px) {
.container {
flex-direction: row;
}
}
I have checked all my code, there’s nothing except what you’ve written.

This is my index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <meta name="description" content="..." />
    <title>My First Web Page</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css" />
    <style></style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container">
      <div class="box">
        <p>
          Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Tenetur,
          mollitia velit quaerat placeat veniam nostrum expedita eligendi ab ut
          odio voluptatum dolorum ex cupiditate quasi corporis sit harum! Animi,
          impedit.
        </p>
      </div>
      <div class="box">
        <p>
          Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Tenetur,
          mollitia velit quaerat placeat veniam nostrum expedita eligendi ab ut
          odio voluptatum dolorum ex cupiditate quasi corporis sit harum! Animi,
          impedit.
        </p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

CSS Code:

.container {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}

.box {
  background: gold;
  padding: 1rem;
}

.box:nth-of-type(2) {
  background: dodgerblue;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 600px) {
  .container {
    flex-direction: row;
  }
}

I have also tried restarting the Live Server, but nothing happened.
Please Help me in resolving this issue.

hi mate, are you sure you haven’t hit the “zoom in” button.Verify you zoom is set at 100%.

Hey @Samaty ,
You were absolutely right mate!
On resetting the zoom value to 100% it works perfectly fine. I guess the browser redefines the break point values if the zoom value is changed.

Thanks a lot!

My pleasure. I had the exact same issue and was about to give up.
